GMB viewers today (July 19) were busy reaching for their remotes.
Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls took over the show, much to the dismay of some overheated viewers at home.
The presenter’s chemistry didn’t go down well with some fans, and their presenting style left something to be desired for many.
As a result, many took to social media to complain about the pairing.
Some were growing tired of the duo appearing to talk over each other throughout the show.

A third added: #GMB Ranvir is not really right for being a main presenter as all she does is treat the position as her own private fiefdom by sticking her fingers in her ears and talk down to everyone.”
“I can’t listen to any more hysteria from Ranvir and #gmb – it’s back to #bbcbreakfast,” said another, switching off.
“Ed Balls is bloody awful at presenting! Simple as that!!” declared another.
